Thermaltake to offer Honeycomb stencil thermal grease
Clever, Thermaltake announced thermal grease "TG-50" and "TG-30", and the special think about it is that you apply it in a honeycomb pattern with a stencil.
Thermaltake's thermal grease was officially announced at the " V VIP DAY" briefing for media held in June this year. The kits come with a honeycomb-shaped sheet called a "honeycomb stencil" and a spatula. By placing a sheet on the CPU and using a spatula to spread the thermal grease evenly, you can easily apply the optimum amount of grease. The "Honeycomb Stencil" is compatible with both AMD and Intel, and can be reused by wiping it off with the included alcohol pad.
The product lineup consists of two models , the "TG-50" with a thermal conductivity of 8 W/mk and the "TG-30" with a thermal conductivity of 4.5 W/mk. In each case, the container is a syringe type that is easy to handle and weighs 4 g. In addition to a material that does not easily crack when dried, diamond powder is added to enhance thermal conductivity.

When you put on a cooler it then spreads, it doesnt keep this shape
I just put some more coolermaster maker pro with 12w/mk on replacement cpu , pea sized blob and it spread just as fine.
But i agree, it's more of a clever marketing gimmick, although it still looks nice to look at before covering it

Because of my experience with arctic silver over the years and how expensive it is for the amount that's in a bottle this triggers me because of the waste.

I like it. It helps control the amount of paste applied. It is great for people doing it the first time. The spread will be even.
Quite creative.

Sorry, but dumb idea.
As the others said, this is a good way to create spaces with no paste, just insulating air.
What were they thinking ??
Do people have an idea of the pressure between the cooler and the cpu? the paste get super thin and it goes nearly out of the borders.
The paste is suppose to fill in micro gaps on the metal or uneven surfaces.
Is not that the stencil here is the product, they are still selling the thermal paste and to differtiate themselves they added this little plastic thing.
It will let you waste the past yes, but if you are planning to do just a couple of applications and let the rest of the paste in the tube for 2 years, well it does not make difference.
